Students March On State Capitol;
Stress Constitutional Assembly Right
Public Affairs Week
Urges Involvement
Monday, March 29, will be the beginning of Public Affairs Week
on our campus. Sponsored by the Academic Committe of the Student
Senate, the week is intended to draw attention to opportunities and
responsibilities in government, and will include elections for the Stu-dent
Senate.
Concern with involvement in various aspects of government service
as well as political activity will give Public Affairs Week a broader
emphasis than the former "Political Emphasis Week."
"Ethics and Law," or the inter-relationship between the informal
moral standards of society and the formal, legal court and law system
will be the subject of the convocation on Monday. The Honorable
Oscar R. Knutson, Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, is
to present this topic.
Timothy Smith, history professor at the University of Minnesota,
will speak at Tuesday's convocation about the Christian's responsibility
in forming, influencing, and abiding by the laws of our society: both
the formal legal system and the informal "moral" one.
There are tentative plans for a luncheon with the professor at 12:00,
and the committee also hopes to have representatives from the Minne-sota
State Legislature in the Student Senate, meeting from 2:004:00
in the coffee shop.
Presidential candidates for the Student Senate will present them-selves
to the student body during the chapel hour on Wednesday.
Students who attended the National Association of Evangelical Stu-dents
convention in Washington, D.C., will be in charge of a seminar
Wednesday afternoon from 2:00-4:00.
"Alan Tate, noted poet and critic from the University of Minne-sota,
will continue the tradition of a cultural sidelight during Public
Affairs Week," states Dave Johnson, chairman of the Academic Com-mittee.
From 2:00-4:00 on Thursday afternoon, all candidates for senate
offices will be presented to the students.
Val Bjornson, state treasurer of Minnesota, will speak to the student
body on Friday about the general topic of "Involvement in Politics." A
luncheon with the treasurer is planned for Friday noon.
Public Affairs Week will be concluded Friday evening when the
Student Senate meets the faculty in the annual Koffee Kup basketball
game. The evening will include a presentation of the Student Project
for Amity Among Nations (SPAN) program, to which all proceeds
from the game will go. During the course of the evening Student Senate
election results will be announced.

The Social Action Committee
of Luther Seminary called upon
seminarians of Luther, Bethel,
Northwestern, United Church of
Christ and St. Paul's Seminaries
to participate in a civil rights
demonstration on Monday, March
15, 11:00 a.m. at the State Capitol.
The group assembled in front of
Aasgaard Hall before the students
marched up the hill to the Capitol
singing freedom songs. Seminary
leaders and representatives pre-sented
short speeches. The meet-ing
closed in prayer. Approxi-mately
fifty students from Bethel
participated.
This march was called for three
purposes: (1) To express sympathy
for, and support of, the cause for
which Negro and White Americans
are demonstrating in Selma, Ala-bama;
(2) To express gratitude to
the State of Minnesota for legally
permitting public demonstrations;
(3) To encourage and ratify the con-structive
leadership taken by the
clergy in the civil rights struggle.
Representative Gary Falckey told
the group that there is not only
injustice in Alabama but also in

Two outstanding plays in Reper-tory
this season are O'Neill's Long

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Long
Day's Journey is a play based on
O'Neill's tragic family experience.
He has probed deeply into his
past to produce an intense drama
of family guilt, the unalterable
circumstances that cause them to
tear at one another and the

discrimination against the Negroes
in the St. Paul ghetto and the
Indians of Northern Minnesota as

Group will hold it's monthly meet-ing
on Friday, March 26, at 7:00
P.M. in the College Auditorium.
This meeting is open to the entire
student body and everyone is en-couraged
to attend.
A special treat is in store for all
w h o attend, as that fabulous
"Swede", Dave Mbiti, and two of
his friends from the University of
Minnesota, get together and pro-vide
a panel discussion and forum
on the "African Situation Today,"
and general topics relating to it.
Also feaured is a full length
film on Africa, with much infor-mation
about this huge continent,
and specifically the nation of
Kenya.
The IFG, another one of Bethel's
growing organizations, is made up
of international students, and also
is composed of many of the Ameri-can
students on the campus.
The purpose of the group is
stated by one of the freshman
International Students, Greg Bul-bulian.
"Our pupose is to promote
international understanding, a n d
extend what we as foreign students
know of our counties, and explain-ing
it to the people here in the
U.S. We aim for more understand-ing
between different cultures."
To make this a truly interna-tional
group, there will be the
election of a secretary-treasurer
who will be a non-international
student at Friday's meeting.
The group has had many meet-ings
trying to find out what we
sure and sacrifice. The Seminary
leaders emphasized that the
Church is called to express the
deep conviction that in Christ all
are one. They warned that the
dehumanization process is as dam-aging
to those persecuting the
community as those persecuted.
In this light we should pray for
the oppressed as well as for the
oppressors.
as Americans would like to know
about foreign nations, and es-pecially
the nations represented
by our foreign students.
They have had difficulties in
this area, and would appreciate
any suggestions you would have in
regard to this organization. Be

Dr. Walfred Peterson has re-sumed
hosting "Friday at Four',
an infomal discussion hour on top-ics
of current interest. In announc-ing
his plans to continue these
coffee and conversation sessions
for the remainder of the year, he
defined their purpose as "inter-action
with qualified spokesmen
from various fields."
Co-sponsored by Dr. Peterson
and the Phi Gamma Mu Social
Science Honor Society, the first of
the rejuvenated discussion sessions
was held March 19th at Peterson's
home and featured Lawrence Bor-om
of the St. Paul Urban League.
Borom explained briefly the
functions of the Urban League

of 1,100 students for the pre-sent

stated a year ago has been cut by
100.
At that time, the projection pre-supposed
availability of adequate
housing for seminarians this fall
in addition to the academic com-plex
which is scheduled for occu-pancy
then. However, availability
of seminary housing is undeter-mined.
Therefore, college maxi-mum
enrollment must be reduced
temporarily to 1,000.
"We are encouraging an exist-ing
trend which shows a greater
increase in the upper division class-es.
In order to keep total enroll-ment
within reason, the rate of in-crease
for the freshman class must
be reduced. Consequently the fresh-man
class for 1965-66 will be limit-ed
to 345 and for 1966-67 to 350,"
stated Dr. Paul Finlay, registrar.
Implementing this decision will
undoubtedly necessitate strict ad-as
education, employment, housing,
and health-welfare. He commented
that the League works largely with
rural Negroes, whose problems
are compounded by socio-economic
as well as racial factors.
From discussion of the League
and its activities, the conversation
turned to the issue of bussing stu-dents
of one racial characteristic
from one school district to another
to achieve racial balance. While
the League takes no official stand
on the issue, Borom's personal
position is that bussing to balance
the racial ratio is advantageous
as "it provides a more complete
educational experience for our
school children."
herence to admissions policy adopt-ed
a few years ago by the Board
of Education which established the
ratio 80-20 Conference to non-Con-ference
students. In the last two
or three years, up to 40 per cent
of total enrollment was comprised
of non-Conference students.
Two factors supporting the deci-sion
to hold enrollment at 1,000
are the food service and library
facilities. The food service is equip-ped
to handle approximately 500
diners. Currently nearly 600 meal
tickets are in use. The library has
seating capacity designed to ac-commodate
an enrollment of 600.
Seminary Social
Honors Seniors
The annual Seminary faculty so-cial
in honor of the Seminary
senior wives and their husbands
was held at Central Baptist Church,
St. Paul, Friday evening, March
19th.
Toastmistress Mrs. Alphin Con-rad
led the evening, which began
with special music by the "Bethel
Hillbillies" singing a mountain bal-lad
duet about some of the incon-gruities
of Seminary life.
Immediately following them was
a "four act scene" in the "realistic
mode" performed by the Faculty
Players that traced the life of a
seminary married couple through
their three (stretched to five) years
in school. Dressed in their appro-priate
costumes the show was actu-ally
stolen by the antics of the
children (eventually four) that ap-peared
and romped on the floor
of the imaginary living room.
Following the fun time, thoughts
were turned elsewhere as the
Senior wives were presented with
their Ph.T. degrees: Propellans
Hominis Sui Triumphata. Then
more serious considerations were
given in the testimonies of two
Senior wives.

Dr. Martin Luther King said last week, "We have come to be-lieve
that the combining of concrete demands, flexibly handled,
with mass community involvement, all conducted with non-violent
direct action is the formula for accomplishment in the
South."
Each day as the civil rights movement moves toward an

segments of society. The present struggle for franchise in Selma

legislation in the United States, beginning with the
reform of our educational system and extending to slum
clearance and reduction of unemployment.
The coming crisis in terms of executive action was point-edly
brought out in a NEW YORK TIMES editorial of Decem-ber
20. The TIMES questions President Johnson's under-standable
desire to be a "consensus President" — like-
Coolidge and Eisenhower who served the needs of the day
but not those of decades to come. "A President who wants
to get things done has to be a fighter, has to spend the
valuable coin of his own popularity, has to jar the existing
consensus."
The President is to be commended for prompt action last
week in drafting the bill providing for voting "referees." But
other lines are already written on the wall of remaining racial
inequalities: a long range committment to upgrading social
and economic opportunities for all Americans which could
carry the civil rights proponents to their finest hour. No one
knows it better than Martin Luther King.
Niebuhr Discusses Church Ministry;
Accentuates Theological Preparation
However, the issues in Selma
have never been so clear. Lippman
w-ote the next day: "This time and
in this case the issue of civil
rights is clear as crystal. There
are no fuzzy edges as there were
and are on the problem of the
desegregation of the schools and
of public accomodations. On the
question of the right to vote, all
the leading Republicans, including
Barry Goldwater, are against Gov.
Wallace." (Walter Lippman, "Sel-ma:
An American Disgrace", THE
MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE, March
18, 1965, p. 4).
There are many social issues
which puzzle the Christian as to
their implications and he under-standably
hesitates to speak. How-ever,
disenfranchisement of the
Negro is not only clearly un-Ameri-can,
it reflects a cultural heritage
which devaluates a minority group
member to a level lower than his
human dignity is in fact.
When a social pattern promotes
this kind of thing, it is morally
outrageous. Hence, the political in-
Page 2 the CLARION Wednesday, March 24, 1965 Letters to the Editor:
by Vic Winquist
The Purpose of the Church and its Ministry,
H. Richard Niebuhr in collaboration with
Daniel Day Williams and James M. Gustafson,
Harper and Row, 1956.
This is the second of three
articles written by seminarians
in preparation for the College
Conference on the Ministry,
April 9-10.
Niebuhr's book is the result of
a study of theological education
in the United States and Canada.
He discusses the relationship be-tween
theological education and
the task and ministry of the
church. It is a book that should
be read by all persons considering
the ministry as a vocation and as
a commitment.
The description of the church
for Niebuhr is the description of
movement between "poles." The
church is not the rule or realm
of God, but there is no apprehen-sion
of the Kingdom except in the
church. God can and does act out-side
of the church and yet the
church is the chosen vessel of
God.
The church is both community
and institution, a community of
memory and hope, a community
of redemption, but it is also an
institution which gives the com-munity
form, boundaries and
discipline. The church is both
local and universal, both Protes-tant
and Catholic.
The purpose of the church is
"the increase among men of the
love of God and neighbor." It is
both gospel and law. The purpose
is not simply to have persons be-lieve
in the love of God, but to
have persons love God and neigh-bor.
The dual purpose of the
church is illustrated by the two
tablets of the ten commandments,
and by Christ's summary of the
law.
Niebuhr in defining the terms
of love and neighbor has written
what could well be a classic pas-sage
in contemporary Christian lit-erature.
Love for Neibuhr is re-joicing
in the existence and in the,
presence of the beloved. Love is
gratitude, reverence and loyalty
toward Him. The problem of how
to love God is the problem of re-conciliation,
a reconciliation which
comes through Jesus Christ.
The church faced with its dual
task has constantly gravitated
toward one or the other. It has
confused proximate goals with
the ultimate goal of love of God
and neighbor.
The minister realizing the pur-pose
of the church must be will-ing
to constantly reevaluate his
role. The role of the minister has
traditionally been either a pastor,
as in Gregory's ideal, a preacher
as was the concept of the reform-ers,
or a priest. Niebuhr claims
that a new concept of the ministry
has come into focus, which he
terms the "pastoral director."
This is not the "big operator"
who is concerned with the "organi-zations,"
but rather the minister
recognizing that the work of the
church is the work of the holy
community, the people of God. The
minister's role is to direct the
people of God in their works.
The task of the church remains
constant, a concern with man
estranged from God and neigh-bor.
The message of the church
is the message of reconciliation
between God and man, and man
and man, the gospel of Christ.
The methods used by the church
may change since, "When we do
today what we did yesterday
we actually do something dif-ferent,
since in the interval both
we and the environment have
changed."
The person being trained in a
theological school must be trained
in the context of the church's
total purpose and activity. He must
understand his task, his role and
his world.

I see from your last issue of the

faculty has decided that
something is amiss down South.
(Who would have `thunk' it?)
Such penetrating insight into the
American dilemma should not go
unheralded, and since there are
no American Negroes or minority
groups per se represented on cam-pus,
I should like to thank the
Bethel faculty on their behalf for
"the weight of (its) influence be-hind
the drive for an integrated
society." Because the cause is one
on which the realization of the
American Dream depends, all are
welcome aboard the band wagon—
even the stragglers, Mr. Editor!

kudos, we'd like to congratulate
you on the perspective of the lead-ing

Present Ideas
To whom it may concern:
Our hearts quicken our ideals!
Too many times we "unostenta-tious"
students of life seek the
fruits of design. And what is
design? Where are these fruits to
be opposed?
An old Swedish philosopher, in
the humble surroundings of his
eighteenth century world, is quot-ed
as saying, "Never let your
`whys' outnumber your iron will."
Here, to us, is the gist of what
man has for so long been seeking.
What should our reaction be?
Fear looms, and in a sense
dictates, the sincere search for
realistic questions. Are we afraid
to "put our teeth into" the poli-cies
which obviously negate our
own attitudes? At this point, let us
emphasize that we are not making
a plea, but we are emphasizing.
Just as mankind strives to erase
the festers of want from his so-ciety,
so must we forbear their
liquidation. Our old Swedish friend
reached out. Is he the better man
for this? It is certainly relative to
our relationships to the abstract
realm.

for an office without a lot of
competition. I see.
You too could run without a
lot of competition.
All right, so elections around
here are dull, unimaginative, and
lack enthusiasm, but what can we
do about it? I have two suggestions.
Let's revive competition on the
campus by dragging back the ap-parently
defunct political parties,
not just for election time but all
year. Have these parties initiate
the issues for debate and keep
campus politics interesting.
Having a night set aside for
a convention at which time all
of the candidates would be elect-ed
by those attending the con-vention,
seems to be one way
of making elections a little more
exciting.
Of course, the one drawback to
both of these ideas is that to
make them work you need stu-dents.

Next week almost opens the spring season for theater goers. The
Saint Paul Auditorium Theater presents a new musical direct from
Broadway. "110 in The Shade" by David Merrick has enjoyed a success-ful
run on Broadway playing to capacity houses.
The play is an adaptation of "The Rainmaker," a story that tells
the life of Lizzie Currie whose father and brothers are just as worried
about her becoming an old maid as they are about their cattle dying
from the drought. Tickets are available at special student rates for
groups of ten or more. Call the Auditorium Theater Box Office.
On the other side of the river, the Mann Theater opens the season
with Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Sound of Music." Starring academy
award winner Julie Andrews the musical tells the story of the Trapp
Family and their antics.
Down the street, the Orpheum Theater opens with another comedy,
Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park." This play, running to Saturday,
March 27, stars Joan Van Ark, a miss, common to Broadway, who started
her career as Marriane in "The Miser," Guthrie's production of
Moliere's classic.
Saturday, Andre Kostelanetz returns to Minneapolis and conducts
an all-Tchaikovsky concert with the Minneapolis Symphony at Northrup
Auditorium. Japanese violinist, Toshiya Eto, is the guest soloist.
Next Sunday afternoon several offerings show promise as worth-while
events. The National Ballet of Canada performs in Saint Paul
at the Auditorium while the Saint Olaf Choir and members of the
Minneapolis Symphony play a program of the masters at the Guthrie
Theater.
Also on Sunday the Beth-El Chamber Orchestra presents a program
cif unique Jewish music with Erwin Jospe, dean of the college of Fine
Arts at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, doubling as guest
conductor and soloist. For further information call the Beth-El Synagogue.
Monday, April 5, the Schubert Club presents pianist John Brown-ing
in recital. The following Saturday finds Roger Williams in concert
at Northrup or SINFONIA at Guthrie.
The Minneapolis Symphony presents its usual musical fetish
April 2 with Richard Tucker as guest soloist. Tucker will sing several
arias from famous operas with symphony accompaniment.

Graduates Dean Dahlquist, Carole Lundquist and Karen Neslund
discuss travel plans as they prepare for their tour of Europe.
Three members of Bethel's 1964
graduating class are embarking
next week on an extensive tour
of Europe. They are Carole Lund-quist,
Karen Neslund, and Dean
Dahlquist, who will be flying from
New York to Luxembourg via Ice-landic
Airlines on March 30th.
From Luxembourg the three will
separate to pursue specific in-terests.
Mr. Dahlquist, who is from
Rockford, Illinois, will spend one
month in London studying the re•
ligious press as part of his Uni-versity
of Minnesota graduate work
in journalism.
After studies he will tour the
Continent for two months, con-centrating
in Italy. While at
Bethel he was editor of the
CLARION, a member of Male
Chorus, Lambda Iota Tau, and
COEVAL board, and was listed
in "Who's Who Among College
Students, 1963 & 1964."
Carole Lundquist, Bethel alumna
from St. Paul, has been SPIRE edi-
Lambda, and the touring dramatic
group, and was listed in "Who s
Who, 1963 & 64." Her traveling
companion, Karen Neslund, has
been CLARION feature editor,
SPIRE editor, a member of COEVAL
board, Lambda, and the German
Club, and was also listed in "Who's
Who Among College Students, 1963
& 64." She is from Stanwood,
Washington.
Highlights of the girls' trip in-clude
a visit to France, Switzer-land,
Italy (where they will spend
Easter in Florence), Austria, Ger-many,
Scandinavia, the British
Isles, and the Netherlands. Upon
arriving in Europe they will spend
some time at the home of Richard
and Annette (Larson) B e n e r t,
Bethel alumni who are studying in
bright Scholarship Program.
Travel plans for the group have
centered around the facilities of
the International Youth Hostel
Association, which provides lodg-ing
and food at minimal expense
to travelers. They will also make
use o f International Student
Identity cards (available to stu-dents
and recent graduates)
which reduce admission to nu-merous
concerts, museums, and
exhibitions.
Traveling between countries will
be primarily through the use of a
"Eurial" pass. This provides un-limited
first class train travel over
a three month period for $205.
According to present plans, the

Lundholm Spends Semester On Tour;
Sings With Norman Luboff Choir
by Sally Mattson
While most Bethel students
spent the first semester pursuing
an education on the two square
blocks that make up our campus,
Kent Lundholm, senior in the col-lege,
toured all but six of the
fifty states. His traveling compan-ions
were the thirty-four members
of the Norman Luboff Choir.
Kent was given the opportunity
to audition for the group after
one of Luboff's music arrangers
heard him sing at a Bethel Male
Chorus concert in Reseda, Califor-nia.
The choir needed one more
tenor and Kent got the job.
The first three weeks after the
choir organized were spent in
four-hour-a-day rehearsals. Musi-cians
were, of course, expected
to work many more hours on the
music independently. By the end
of the first week all the selec-tions
in a repertoire for four var-ied
programs were memorized.
With this rehearsal period be-hind
them the choir began their
concert schedule: 104 appear-ances
in 110 days.
This very full schedule gave
Kent invaluable training as a mu-sician.
He had the opportunity to
learn technique in singing for a
range of music styles from classi-cal
to folk and pop numbers. From
observations of Luboff he learned
another conducting technique as
well as methods of vocal produc-tion.
In addition to this, his associ-ation
with other singers in the
group who earn their livings
singing in such choirs taught him
about the unique world of the
professional musician.
There were lighter moments of
college level pranks even in this
sophisticated group. On one occa-sion,
as director Luboff stepped to
the podium, he kept his arms
crossed in front of him. When he
lifted his hands for the downbeat
his fingers had grown sever al
gnarled inches. (Somewhere he had
acquired some grotesque fingers
used in a Japanese ceremonial
dance.)
While Kent was happy to share
these experiences, he was more
eager to communicate what the
function of Christian music
should be to communicate the
gospel. A concern to elevate the
musical tastes of the congrega-tion
is valid but as a secondary
goal. Kent suggested church mu-sicians
should exercise care to
not confuse aesthetic experience
with spirtival. Church music for
worship and as an expression
of Christian experience should
be chosen for the particular con-gregation
As to his future, Kent plans a
series of sacred concerts this sum-mer

deep underlying love that binds
them together.
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar,
which opened March 18, has been
given a modern format complete
with pistol assassination. Managing
director Rex Henriot says of Julius
Caesar,
"It is not so much a play of
people or an incident, but of poli-tics,
power, and power corrupting.
It has always seemed to me a very
modern play." The adaptability of
this classic to modern dress and
presentation re-emphasizes the
timelessness of much of Shake-speare's
work.
Theater St. Paul has scheduled
performances of LONG DAY'S
JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, JULIUS
CAESAR, RHINOCEROS, and
THE SOUND OF POETRY, a
special program of readings
scheduled for Wed. May 12.
Their performances offer a spe-cial
student admission of $1.00 per
ticket on individual or group basis.
Student perfomances scheduled for
Southern California or South Caro-lina.
Kent has one ambition which
suggests he is not tired of travel-ing
yet. The Luboff Choir is plan-ning
a trip to Europe and the Ori-ent
in about a year and all indica-tions
are that they would have
that job for a tenor.

Statistics have now been released showing that Don Moore, Bethel's
lithe 6'10" junior center, has broken several school records and has
come extremely close to equaling others.
In an amazing display of versatility the personable Moore personally
handed Sioux Falls a setback this year as he flipped in 42 points in an
early season game. This total was four points lower than his career
high scored against Morris last year. Proving he was not yet through
with Sioux Falls, the big center came back the next week to score
16 field goals against the Braves, only three short of his all-time high
scored against Morris. His career total ranks him in Bethel's annals with
179.
Rebounding was an art not long forgotten by 'Big Don.' Against
Morris he equaled his career high of 21 rebounds. George Palke, the
Royal's foremost forward, in one of his finest games, ranked second
with 20. For season totals, Moore had 281 while Palke had 219.
In total season scoring, the center came through with 446 points
compared to last year's 382. The record is presently held by Truman
Turnquist who in the 1960-61 season accumulated 464 points.
For his total career, the Royal's co-captain has scored 949 points
with 396 total field goals. This ranks him second to Truman Turnquist
who in a span fom 1957-61 piled up 1242 points. Moore, who has another
year of eligibility remaining, could conceivably break that record. Jerry
Moulton, another fine shooting junior, ranks fifth in career points
with 725 and 316 field goals.
All alone for the Royals in free throw percentage was Edgar
Peterman who from 1963-65 maintained a 75.0 average, ranking him
fourth in career statistics. Peterman was also the Royals' individual free
throw percentage winner this year.

To the Sports Editor:
Among the responsibilities of
campus newspapers is that to in-form
the college of events and
activities on the campus. Another
is to recognize before the student
body the accomplishments a n d
achievements of students.
I am convinced that your sports
editor has conspicuously mis-handled
both of these responsi-bilities.
Let me substantiate this
statement with several examples.
Preceding the recently conclud-ed
basketball season there was
mention of the team in only
one article before the first game.
Since that article appeared two
weeks before, the basketball
team was not mentioned in the
paper preceding the first game.
During the season the Clarion
did not even recognize the exis-tence
of the B-squad. The single
post-season article gave the men
on the team neither the recogni-tion
nor the support they deserved
while they built the best season
record ever against the toughest
opposition any Bethel B-squad has
faced.
Most recently, the basketball
team held its banquet, formally
concluding the season. At the ban-quet
coach Jerry Healy and assis-tant
coach Lee Bajuniemi awarded
letters and numerals. Letter win-ners
included Dave Bjorklund, Bob
Nolin, George Palke, Ed Peterman,
Dick Robertson and Jerry Wahl-strom.
Numeral awards went to John
Carmean, Paul I. Johnson, Paul
V. Johnson, Don Lindberg, Dave
Livingston, Bruce Nelson and
Al Selander. Co-captain Don
Moore was named most valuable
player, having broken nearly ev-ery
school record in both scor-ing
and rebounding.
Coach Healy presented the second
consecutive Pioneer conference
basketball championship trophy to
the school. Co-captain Jerry Moul-ton
presented the free-throw per-
Royalettes Post
Winning Record
The Bethel Royalettes wound up
the 1964-1965 season taking second
place with a 7-2 record, by defeat-ing
Fairview School of Nursing
71-27 in non-conference play.
Captain Cindy Heath led the
team in scoring with an average of
19.6 points per game. Her high
for the season was 30. Barb Lind-man,
who hit 20 in one game, aver-aged
11.8 points per game.
The team, coached by Eunice
Murra, averaged 43.7 points per
game to their opponents 34.8. The
highest scoring game was against
Fairview when they reached 71.
Their highest in conference play
came as they defeated St. Paul
Bible College 63-33.
Jan Markell, averaging 6.6 points
per game on long shots, helped
out Cindy and Barb in the forward
positions. Bev Anderson, Mert Carl-son,
and Ruth Phillips started as
guards, They were aided by Sara
Brooks, Li Linder, Carlene Ander-son,
and Donna Seline.

tentage trophy to Ed Peterman
and a special appreciation award
to Jerry Wahlstrom, trainer and
manager for the past four years.
Dave Bjorklund and Jerry Moulton
were chosen co-captains for the
coming season.
A bit of research would reveal
that Dave Bjorklund was named
to Lakeland college's second all-opponent
team. Don Moore was
dangerously close to the scoring
lead in the Pioneer conference. I
believe that these items qualify as
"good news."
Your sports editor has been
either ignorant of a number of
significant things or unwilling to
perform his duties. I should like
to suggest your exhorting him to
greater diligence and responsibili-ty
in the future.

Editor Answers
David E. Johnson has ac-cused
me of "conspicuously mis-handling"
two responsibilities
outlined above, and has stated
seemingly significant facts to
support his contention.
He recalls one issue of the
CLARION in which the varsity
basketball team was overlooked
and combines this with the B-Squad
coverage to ascertain that
I am guilty of failiing to "inform
the college community of events
and activities on the campus."

basketball team received
Volleyball is one of the few
competitive games that the average
person can play for exercise, re-laxation,
and fun, or the active
athlete can play f o r strenuous
work.
When interviewed concerning
this year's volleyball program,
Larry Stair, the Intramural Super-visor,
had words of praise for all
the teams' potential. "Potentially
any one of these teams from the
Barons to the Squires (alphabeti-cally)
could capture the Champion-ship."
When questioned concerning the
dearth of players he replied, "One

coverage as well as publicity for
coming games.
Recognition of the "accom-plishments
and achievements of
the student" was made in the
form of four editorials which
stressed the basketball team's
efforts, six pictures and seven
headline articles. Wrestling,
which is a minor sport, was
covered by two pictures, one
headline article and one editor-ial.
A bit of research on Johnson's
part would have revealed to him
that the post-season article
which gave "neither the recog-nition
nor the support that the
B-Squad deserved" was writ-ten
by a member of the B-Squad.
A bit more research Tinto the
team of which he served as team
manager would have disclosed
that members of the squad were
approached by both the assis-tant
editor and myself, informed
of the dearth of sports writers
and encouraged to submit statis-tics,
articles, etc., which would
have been readily put into print.
Concerning the basketball ban-quet
and the listing of award
winners, plans had been filed
with the editor of the Clarion to
combine both the basketball and
wrestling awards into one article
to be printed in this edition.
One difficulty in newspaper
work is printing the information
before it is available. Only this
week were the statistics for-mally
compiled, edited and of-fered
to me by the basketball
team's statistician. This accounts
for my "ignorance" of the feats
of Dave Bjorklund and Don
Moore.

Public Affairs Week
Urges Involvement
Monday, March 29, will be the beginning of Public Affairs Week
on our campus. Sponsored by the Academic Committe of the Student
Senate, the week is intended to draw attention to opportunities and
responsibilities in government, and will include elections for the Stu-dent
Senate.
Concern with involvement in various aspects of government service
as well as political activity will give Public Affairs Week a broader
emphasis than the former "Political Emphasis Week."
"Ethics and Law," or the inter-relationship between the informal
moral standards of society and the formal, legal court and law system
will be the subject of the convocation on Monday. The Honorable
Oscar R. Knutson, Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, is
to present this topic.
Timothy Smith, history professor at the University of Minnesota,
will speak at Tuesday's convocation about the Christian's responsibility
in forming, influencing, and abiding by the laws of our society: both
the formal legal system and the informal "moral" one.
There are tentative plans for a luncheon with the professor at 12:00,
and the committee also hopes to have representatives from the Minne-sota
State Legislature in the Student Senate, meeting from 2:004:00
in the coffee shop.
Presidential candidates for the Student Senate will present them-selves
to the student body during the chapel hour on Wednesday.
Students who attended the National Association of Evangelical Stu-dents
convention in Washington, D.C., will be in charge of a seminar
Wednesday afternoon from 2:00-4:00.
"Alan Tate, noted poet and critic from the University of Minne-sota,
will continue the tradition of a cultural sidelight during Public
Affairs Week," states Dave Johnson, chairman of the Academic Com-mittee.
From 2:00-4:00 on Thursday afternoon, all candidates for senate
offices will be presented to the students.
Val Bjornson, state treasurer of Minnesota, will speak to the student
body on Friday about the general topic of "Involvement in Politics." A
luncheon with the treasurer is planned for Friday noon.
Public Affairs Week will be concluded Friday evening when the
Student Senate meets the faculty in the annual Koffee Kup basketball
game. The evening will include a presentation of the Student Project
for Amity Among Nations (SPAN) program, to which all proceeds
from the game will go. During the course of the evening Student Senate
election results will be announced.

The Social Action Committee
of Luther Seminary called upon
seminarians of Luther, Bethel,
Northwestern, United Church of
Christ and St. Paul's Seminaries
to participate in a civil rights
demonstration on Monday, March
15, 11:00 a.m. at the State Capitol.
The group assembled in front of
Aasgaard Hall before the students
marched up the hill to the Capitol
singing freedom songs. Seminary
leaders and representatives pre-sented
short speeches. The meet-ing
closed in prayer. Approxi-mately
fifty students from Bethel
participated.
This march was called for three
purposes: (1) To express sympathy
for, and support of, the cause for
which Negro and White Americans
are demonstrating in Selma, Ala-bama;
(2) To express gratitude to
the State of Minnesota for legally
permitting public demonstrations;
(3) To encourage and ratify the con-structive
leadership taken by the
clergy in the civil rights struggle.
Representative Gary Falckey told
the group that there is not only

The purpose of the group is
stated by one of the freshman

his plans to continue these

100.
At that time, the projection pre-supposed
availability of adequate
housing for seminarians this fall
in addition to the academic com-plex
which is scheduled for occu-pancy
then. However, availability
of seminary housing is undeter-mined.
Therefore, college maxi-mum
enrollment must be reduced
temporarily to 1,000.
"We are encouraging an exist-ing
trend which shows a greater
increase in the upper division class-es.
In order to keep total enroll-ment
within reason, the rate of in-crease
for the freshman class must
be reduced. Consequently the fresh-man
class for 1965-66 will be limit-ed
to 345 and for 1966-67 to 350,"
stated Dr. Paul Finlay, registrar.
Implementing this decision will
undoubtedly necessitate strict ad-as
education, employment, housing,
and health-welfare. He commented
that the League works largely with
rural Negroes, whose problems
are compounded by socio-economic
as well as racial factors.
From discussion of the League
and its activities, the conversation
turned to the issue of bussing stu-dents
of one racial characteristic
from one school district to another
to achieve racial balance. While
the League takes no official stand
on the issue, Borom's personal
position is that bussing to balance
the racial ratio is advantageous
as "it provides a more complete
educational experience for our
school children."

Two factors supporting the deci-sion
to hold enrollment at 1,000
are the food service and library

to handle approximately 500

of Seminary life.
Immediately following them was

Dr. Martin Luther King said last week, "We have come to be-lieve

The coming crisis in terms of executive action was point-edly
brought out in a NEW YORK TIMES editorial of Decem-ber
20. The TIMES questions President Johnson's under-standable
desire to be a "consensus President" — like-
Coolidge and Eisenhower who served the needs of the day
but not those of decades to come. "A President who wants
to get things done has to be a fighter, has to spend the
valuable coin of his own popularity, has to jar the existing
consensus."
The President is to be commended for prompt action last
week in drafting the bill providing for voting "referees." But
other lines are already written on the wall of remaining racial
inequalities: a long range committment to upgrading social
and economic opportunities for all Americans which could
carry the civil rights proponents to their finest hour. No one
knows it better than Martin Luther King.

An American Disgrace", THE
MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE, March

There are many social issues
which puzzle the Christian as to
their implications and he under-standably
hesitates to speak. How-ever,
disenfranchisement of the
Negro is not only clearly un-Ameri-can,
it reflects a cultural heritage
which devaluates a minority group
member to a level lower than his
human dignity is in fact.
When a social pattern promotes
this kind of thing, it is morally
outrageous. Hence, the political in-
Page 2 the CLARION Wednesday, March 24, 1965 Letters to the Editor:
by Vic Winquist
The Purpose of the Church and its Ministry,
H. Richard Niebuhr in collaboration with
Daniel Day Williams and James M. Gustafson,
Harper and Row, 1956.
This is the second of three
articles written by seminarians
in preparation for the College
Conference on the Ministry,
April 9-10.
Niebuhr's book is the result of
a study of theological education
in the United States and Canada.
He discusses the relationship be-tween
theological education and
the task and ministry of the
church. It is a book that should
be read by all persons considering
the ministry as a vocation and as
a commitment.
The description of the church
for Niebuhr is the description of
movement between "poles." The
church is not the rule or realm
of God, but there is no apprehen-sion
of the Kingdom except in the
church. God can and does act out-side
of the church and yet the
church is the chosen vessel of
God.
The church is both community
and institution, a community of
memory and hope, a community
of redemption, but it is also an
institution which gives the com-munity
form, boundaries and
discipline. The church is both
local and universal, both Protes-tant
and Catholic.
The purpose of the church is
"the increase among men of the
love of God and neighbor." It is
both gospel and law. The purpose
is not simply to have persons be-lieve
in the love of God, but to
have persons love God and neigh-bor.
The dual purpose of the
church is illustrated by the two
tablets of the ten commandments,
and by Christ's summary of the
law.
Niebuhr in defining the terms
of love and neighbor has written
what could well be a classic pas-sage
in contemporary Christian lit-erature.
Love for Neibuhr is re-joicing
in the existence and in the,
presence of the beloved. Love is
gratitude, reverence and loyalty
toward Him. The problem of how
to love God is the problem of re-conciliation,
a reconciliation which
comes through Jesus Christ.
The church faced with its dual
task has constantly gravitated
toward one or the other. It has
confused proximate goals with
the ultimate goal of love of God
and neighbor.
The minister realizing the pur-pose
of the church must be will-ing
to constantly reevaluate his
role. The role of the minister has
traditionally been either a pastor,
as in Gregory's ideal, a preacher
as was the concept of the reform-ers,
or a priest. Niebuhr claims
that a new concept of the ministry
has come into focus, which he
terms the "pastoral director."
This is not the "big operator"
who is concerned with the "organi-zations,"
but rather the minister
recognizing that the work of the
church is the work of the holy
community, the people of God. The
minister's role is to direct the
people of God in their works.
The task of the church remains
constant, a concern with man
estranged from God and neigh-bor.
The message of the church
is the message of reconciliation
between God and man, and man
and man, the gospel of Christ.
The methods used by the church
may change since, "When we do
today what we did yesterday
we actually do something dif-ferent,
since in the interval both
we and the environment have
changed."
The person being trained in a
theological school must be trained
in the context of the church's
total purpose and activity. He must
understand his task, his role and
his world.

To the Editor:
I see from your last issue of the
CLARION that our "socially con-scious"
faculty has decided that
something is amiss down South.
(Who would have `thunk' it?)
Such penetrating insight into the
American dilemma should not go
unheralded, and since there are
no American Negroes or minority
groups per se represented on cam-pus,
I should like to thank the
Bethel faculty on their behalf for
"the weight of (its) influence be-hind
the drive for an integrated
society." Because the cause is one
on which the realization of the
American Dream depends, all are
welcome aboard the band wagon—
even the stragglers, Mr. Editor!

kudos, we'd like to congratulate
you on the perspective of the lead-ing

Present Ideas
To whom it may concern:
Our hearts quicken our ideals!
Too many times we "unostenta-tious"
students of life seek the
fruits of design. And what is
design? Where are these fruits to
be opposed?
An old Swedish philosopher, in
the humble surroundings of his
eighteenth century world, is quot-ed
as saying, "Never let your
`whys' outnumber your iron will."
Here, to us, is the gist of what
man has for so long been seeking.
What should our reaction be?
Fear looms, and in a sense
dictates, the sincere search for
realistic questions. Are we afraid
to "put our teeth into" the poli-cies
which obviously negate our
own attitudes? At this point, let us
emphasize that we are not making
a plea, but we are emphasizing.
Just as mankind strives to erase
the festers of want from his so-ciety,
so must we forbear their
liquidation. Our old Swedish friend
reached out. Is he the better man
for this? It is certainly relative to
our relationships to the abstract
realm.

for an office without a lot of
competition. I see.
You too could run without a
lot of competition.
All right, so elections around
here are dull, unimaginative, and
lack enthusiasm, but what can we
do about it? I have two suggestions.
Let's revive competition on the
campus by dragging back the ap-parently
defunct political parties,
not just for election time but all
year. Have these parties initiate
the issues for debate and keep
campus politics interesting.
Having a night set aside for
a convention at which time all
of the candidates would be elect-ed
by those attending the con-vention,
seems to be one way
of making elections a little more
exciting.
Of course, the one drawback to
both of these ideas is that to
make them work you need stu-dents.

Generates Suggestions

Next week almost opens the spring season for theater goers. The
Saint Paul Auditorium Theater presents a new musical direct from
Broadway. "110 in The Shade" by David Merrick has enjoyed a success-ful
run on Broadway playing to capacity houses.
The play is an adaptation of "The Rainmaker," a story that tells
the life of Lizzie Currie whose father and brothers are just as worried
about her becoming an old maid as they are about their cattle dying
from the drought. Tickets are available at special student rates for
groups of ten or more. Call the Auditorium Theater Box Office.
On the other side of the river, the Mann Theater opens the season
with Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Sound of Music." Starring academy
award winner Julie Andrews the musical tells the story of the Trapp
Family and their antics.
Down the street, the Orpheum Theater opens with another comedy,
Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park." This play, running to Saturday,
March 27, stars Joan Van Ark, a miss, common to Broadway, who started
her career as Marriane in "The Miser," Guthrie's production of
Moliere's classic.
Saturday, Andre Kostelanetz returns to Minneapolis and conducts
an all-Tchaikovsky concert with the Minneapolis Symphony at Northrup
Auditorium. Japanese violinist, Toshiya Eto, is the guest soloist.
Next Sunday afternoon several offerings show promise as worth-while
events. The National Ballet of Canada performs in Saint Paul
at the Auditorium while the Saint Olaf Choir and members of the
Minneapolis Symphony play a program of the masters at the Guthrie
Theater.
Also on Sunday the Beth-El Chamber Orchestra presents a program
cif unique Jewish music with Erwin Jospe, dean of the college of Fine
Arts at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, doubling as guest
conductor and soloist. For further information call the Beth-El Synagogue.
Monday, April 5, the Schubert Club presents pianist John Brown-ing
in recital. The following Saturday finds Roger Williams in concert
at Northrup or SINFONIA at Guthrie.
The Minneapolis Symphony presents its usual musical fetish
April 2 with Richard Tucker as guest soloist. Tucker will sing several
arias from famous operas with symphony accompaniment.

Three1964 Bethel Graduates Travel;
Trip Includes England, France, Italy
by Nancy Appelquist tor, a member of Student Senate, Strasbourg, France, on the Ful-
Graduates Dean Dahlquist, Carole Lundquist and Karen Neslund
discuss travel plans as they prepare for their tour of Europe.
Three members of Bethel's 1964
graduating class are embarking
next week on an extensive tour
of Europe. They are Carole Lund-quist,
Karen Neslund, and Dean
Dahlquist, who will be flying from
New York to Luxembourg via Ice-landic
Airlines on March 30th.
From Luxembourg the three will
separate to pursue specific in-terests.
Mr. Dahlquist, who is from
Rockford, Illinois, will spend one
month in London studying the re•
ligious press as part of his Uni-versity
of Minnesota graduate work
in journalism.
After studies he will tour the
Continent for two months, con-centrating
in Italy. While at
Bethel he was editor of the
CLARION, a member of Male
Chorus, Lambda Iota Tau, and
COEVAL board, and was listed
in "Who's Who Among College
Students, 1963 & 1964."
Carole Lundquist, Bethel alumna
from St. Paul, has been SPIRE edi-
Lambda, and the touring dramatic
group, and was listed in "Who s
Who, 1963 & 64." Her traveling
companion, Karen Neslund, has
been CLARION feature editor,
SPIRE editor, a member of COEVAL
board, Lambda, and the German
Club, and was also listed in "Who's
Who Among College Students, 1963
& 64." She is from Stanwood,
Washington.
Highlights of the girls' trip in-clude
a visit to France, Switzer-land,
Italy (where they will spend
Easter in Florence), Austria, Ger-many,
Scandinavia, the British
Isles, and the Netherlands. Upon
arriving in Europe they will spend
some time at the home of Richard
and Annette (Larson) B e n e r t,
Bethel alumni who are studying in
bright Scholarship Program.
Travel plans for the group have
centered around the facilities of
the International Youth Hostel
Association, which provides lodg-ing
and food at minimal expense
to travelers. They will also make
use o f International Student
Identity cards (available to stu-dents
and recent graduates)
which reduce admission to nu-merous
concerts, museums, and
exhibitions.
Traveling between countries will
be primarily through the use of a
"Eurial" pass. This provides un-limited
first class train travel over
a three month period for $205.
According to present plans, the
three alumni will leave Europe for
the United States on June 29th
and will return to the Twin Cities
in early July.
Lundholm Spends Semester On Tour;
Sings With Norman Luboff Choir
by Sally Mattson
While most Bethel students
spent the first semester pursuing
an education on the two square
blocks that make up our campus,
Kent Lundholm, senior in the col-lege,
toured all but six of the
fifty states. His traveling compan-ions
were the thirty-four members
of the Norman Luboff Choir.
Kent was given the opportunity
to audition for the group after
one of Luboff's music arrangers
heard him sing at a Bethel Male
Chorus concert in Reseda, Califor-nia.
The choir needed one more
tenor and Kent got the job.
The first three weeks after the
choir organized were spent in
four-hour-a-day rehearsals. Musi-cians
were, of course, expected
to work many more hours on the
music independently. By the end
of the first week all the selec-tions
in a repertoire for four var-ied
programs were memorized.
With this rehearsal period be-hind
them the choir began their
concert schedule: 104 appear-ances
in 110 days.
This very full schedule gave
Kent invaluable training as a mu-sician.
He had the opportunity to
learn technique in singing for a
range of music styles from classi-cal
to folk and pop numbers. From
observations of Luboff he learned
another conducting technique as
well as methods of vocal produc-tion.
In addition to this, his associ-ation
with other singers in the
group who earn their livings
singing in such choirs taught him
about the unique world of the
professional musician.
There were lighter moments of
college level pranks even in this
sophisticated group. On one occa-sion,
as director Luboff stepped to
the podium, he kept his arms
crossed in front of him. When he
lifted his hands for the downbeat
his fingers had grown sever al
gnarled inches. (Somewhere he had
acquired some grotesque fingers
used in a Japanese ceremonial
dance.)
While Kent was happy to share
these experiences, he was more
eager to communicate what the
function of Christian music
should be to communicate the
gospel. A concern to elevate the
musical tastes of the congrega-tion
is valid but as a secondary
goal. Kent suggested church mu-sicians
should exercise care to
not confuse aesthetic experience
with spirtival. Church music for
worship and as an expression
of Christian experience should
be chosen for the particular con-gregation
As to his future, Kent plans a
series of sacred concerts this sum-mer

deep underlying love that binds
them together.
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar,
which opened March 18, has been
given a modern format complete
with pistol assassination. Managing
director Rex Henriot says of Julius
Caesar,
"It is not so much a play of
people or an incident, but of poli-tics,
power, and power corrupting.
It has always seemed to me a very
modern play." The adaptability of
this classic to modern dress and
presentation re-emphasizes the
timelessness of much of Shake-speare's
work.
Theater St. Paul has scheduled
performances of LONG DAY'S
JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, JULIUS
CAESAR, RHINOCEROS, and
THE SOUND OF POETRY, a
special program of readings
scheduled for Wed. May 12.
Their performances offer a spe-cial
student admission of $1.00 per
ticket on individual or group basis.

are that they would have
that job for a tenor.

Statistics have now been released showing that Don Moore, Bethel's
lithe 6'10" junior center, has broken several school records and has
come extremely close to equaling others.
In an amazing display of versatility the personable Moore personally
handed Sioux Falls a setback this year as he flipped in 42 points in an
early season game. This total was four points lower than his career
high scored against Morris last year. Proving he was not yet through
with Sioux Falls, the big center came back the next week to score
16 field goals against the Braves, only three short of his all-time high
scored against Morris. His career total ranks him in Bethel's annals with
179.
Rebounding was an art not long forgotten by 'Big Don.' Against
Morris he equaled his career high of 21 rebounds. George Palke, the
Royal's foremost forward, in one of his finest games, ranked second
with 20. For season totals, Moore had 281 while Palke had 219.
In total season scoring, the center came through with 446 points
compared to last year's 382. The record is presently held by Truman
Turnquist who in the 1960-61 season accumulated 464 points.
For his total career, the Royal's co-captain has scored 949 points
with 396 total field goals. This ranks him second to Truman Turnquist
who in a span fom 1957-61 piled up 1242 points. Moore, who has another
year of eligibility remaining, could conceivably break that record. Jerry
Moulton, another fine shooting junior, ranks fifth in career points
with 725 and 316 field goals.
All alone for the Royals in free throw percentage was Edgar
Peterman who from 1963-65 maintained a 75.0 average, ranking him
fourth in career statistics. Peterman was also the Royals' individual free
throw percentage winner this year.

To the Sports Editor:
Among the responsibilities of
campus newspapers is that to in-form
the college of events and
activities on the campus. Another
is to recognize before the student
body the accomplishments a n d
achievements of students.
I am convinced that your sports
editor has conspicuously mis-handled
both of these responsi-bilities.
Let me substantiate this
statement with several examples.
Preceding the recently conclud-ed
basketball season there was
mention of the team in only
one article before the first game.
Since that article appeared two
weeks before, the basketball
team was not mentioned in the
paper preceding the first game.
During the season the Clarion
did not even recognize the exis-tence
of the B-squad. The single
post-season article gave the men
on the team neither the recogni-tion
nor the support they deserved
while they built the best season
record ever against the toughest
opposition any Bethel B-squad has
faced.
Most recently, the basketball
team held its banquet, formally
concluding the season. At the ban-quet
coach Jerry Healy and assis-tant
coach Lee Bajuniemi awarded
letters and numerals. Letter win-ners
included Dave Bjorklund, Bob
Nolin, George Palke, Ed Peterman,
Dick Robertson and Jerry Wahl-strom.
Numeral awards went to John
Carmean, Paul I. Johnson, Paul
V. Johnson, Don Lindberg, Dave
Livingston, Bruce Nelson and
Al Selander. Co-captain Don
Moore was named most valuable
player, having broken nearly ev-ery
school record in both scor-ing
and rebounding.
Coach Healy presented the second
consecutive Pioneer conference
basketball championship trophy to
the school. Co-captain Jerry Moul-ton
presented the free-throw per-

place with a 7-2 record, by defeat-ing
Fairview School of Nursing
71-27 in non-conference play.
Captain Cindy Heath led the
team in scoring with an average of
19.6 points per game. Her high
for the season was 30. Barb Lind-man,
who hit 20 in one game, aver-aged
11.8 points per game.
The team, coached by Eunice
Murra, averaged 43.7 points per
game to their opponents 34.8. The
highest scoring game was against
Fairview when they reached 71.
Their highest in conference play
came as they defeated St. Paul

Jan Markell, averaging 6.6 points
per game on long shots, helped
out Cindy and Barb in the forward
positions. Bev Anderson, Mert Carl-son,

to Jerry Wahlstrom, trainer and

Dave Bjorklund and Jerry Moulton
were chosen co-captains for the

A bit of research would reveal
that Dave Bjorklund was named
to Lakeland college's second all-opponent
team. Don Moore was
dangerously close to the scoring
lead in the Pioneer conference. I
believe that these items qualify as
"good news."
Your sports editor has been
either ignorant of a number of
significant things or unwilling to
perform his duties. I should like
to suggest your exhorting him to
greater diligence and responsibili-ty
in the future.

David E. Johnson has ac-cused
me of "conspicuously mis-handling"
two responsibilities
outlined above, and has stated
seemingly significant facts to
support his contention.
He recalls one issue of the
CLARION in which the varsity
basketball team was overlooked
and combines this with the B-Squad
coverage to ascertain that
I am guilty of failiing to "inform
the college community of events
and activities on the campus."
He fails to recognize that in
eight of the succeeding eleven is-sues
of the CLARION, the var-sity
basketball team received
Volleyball is one of the few
competitive games that the average

athlete can play f o r strenuous

When interviewed concerning
this year's volleyball program,
Larry Stair, the Intramural Super-visor,
had words of praise for all
the teams' potential. "Potentially
any one of these teams from the
Barons to the Squires (alphabeti-cally)
could capture the Champion-ship."
When questioned concerning the
dearth of players he replied, "One

coverage as well as publicity for
coming games.
Recognition of the "accom-plishments
and achievements of
the student" was made in the
form of four editorials which
stressed the basketball team's
efforts, six pictures and seven
headline articles. Wrestling,
which is a minor sport, was
covered by two pictures, one
headline article and one editor-ial.
A bit of research on Johnson's
part would have revealed to him
that the post-season article
which gave "neither the recog-nition
nor the support that the
B-Squad deserved" was writ-ten
by a member of the B-Squad.
A bit more research Tinto the
team of which he served as team
manager would have disclosed
that members of the squad were
approached by both the assis-tant
editor and myself, informed
of the dearth of sports writers
and encouraged to submit statis-tics,
articles, etc., which would
have been readily put into print.
Concerning the basketball ban-quet
and the listing of award
winners, plans had been filed
with the editor of the Clarion to
combine both the basketball and
wrestling awards into one article
to be printed in this edition.
One difficulty in newspaper
work is printing the information
before it is available. Only this
week were the statistics for-mally
compiled, edited and of-fered
to me by the basketball
team's statistician. This accounts
for my "ignorance" of the feats
of Dave Bjorklund and Don
Moore.
